Other folks with Campath?

Hey Lisa Z!

Thanks for that reply. It sounds like Campath was really a great choice in your case. I've made contact (left a voicemail) with the team at NIH.

Clinicaltrials.gov indicates they are still recruiting, so I figured I'd at least explore the option. I notice MD Anderson also has a Campath trial underway, though the protocol is significantly different -- and tough if you don't live 'round there.

If you don't mind my asking, is your MDS hypocellular, with Trisomy 8 and/or PNH clone. Those, along with age, seem to be the key predictors of success with immunosuppressants for MDS in general and I notice they are looking for that sort of profile in the Campath trial at NIH.

Any of you other MDS folks had Campath?
